Indonesia houses 9,232 santri in Darussalam Martapura Islamic life experience school. Darussalam has 2 (two)
quarters with a limit of 70 rooms, every one of which has 4 (four) santris. Subsequently, most understudies live
in residences or houses on the banks of the Martapura River. This examination plans to depict the life of
understudies at the Martapura River utilizing qualitative methods which find that the experience of understudies
depends on freedom in building singular capacities that at the same time construct a public activity to
accomplish shared objectives. From one perspective, understudies are required to satisfy their own lives so their
instruction in Islamic boarding school known as pesantren is effective and produce a social cognizance among
understudies and with the network then again so it isn't disposed of from public activity that underpins the
achievement of training in pesantren. In regular daily existence, understudies are found in building freedom and
public activity actualized in the act of social qualities, to be specific: strict, patriotism, honesty, autonomy and
participation. The estimations of public activity of santri on the Martapura River banks can be utilized as a
learning asset for sociologies study, particularly in building autonomy and public activity.
